The Africans had a good day in office against the former world champions who were unable to score in 120 minutes of big battle.

Morocco are now the first African team to reach the quarterfinal of the FIFA World Cup since Ghana did it in 2010 in South Africa.

In the history of the World Cup, no African team has ever reached the semifinal, and Morocco will want to achieve the success.

Morocco coach compares Ziyech

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Hakim Ziyech returned to the Morocco national team squad for the World Cup under new coach Walid Regragui, after being left out by former coach, Vahid Halilhodžić.

Ziyech has repaid Regragui's faith by stepping up for Morocco in Qatar and he has been hailed by the coach as the country's best player.

Regragui says Ziyech is not just another player and should be loved. He further compared him to what Neymar is for Brazil and what Kylian Mbappe is for France.

Regragui hailed the Chelsea attacker as an important player in the Atlas Lions squad after the win over Spain.

Regragui disagrees with coaches who think every player should be treated alike, and says Ziyech thrives when he is loved and respected.
